const secsPerMin = 60;
const minPerHour = 60;
const hoursPerDay = 24;
const daysPerWeek = 7;
const weeksPerYear = 52;

const secondsPerDay = secsPerMin * minPerHour * hoursPerDay;

console.log(`There are ${secondsPerDay} seconds in a day.`);

const yearsAlive = prompt(`What is your age?`) 

/* I used a prompt to allow visitors to 
see the calculation for their own age. */

const secondsAlive = yearsAlive * weeksPerYear * daysPerWeek * secondsPerDay

console.log(`I've been alive for more than ${secondsAlive} seconds!`);

document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = `<h1>You have 
lived so many seconds!</h1>
<p>More than <strong>${secondsAlive.toLocaleString()}</strong>
 of them!</p>` 

/* I read Damien Lavizzo's solution and learned to use the 
toLocaleString() method to convert numbers into strings. */
